About this Mod

Better Sticks
Summary
Better Sticks provides more functionality for sticks. This includes two new weapons, an alternative fuel source, and an alternative crafting recipe for scaffolding
All Features
Long Sticks
A weapon craftable with 2 sticks. It does 3 attack and 5 attack speed, with a durability of 20. Useful for when you don't have a crafting table and need a weapon very quickly
Bundle of Sticks
An item craftable from 9 sticks. It can be used as a fuel source and lasts 100 seconds
Bo-Staff
A weapon craftable with a long stick and 2 diamonds. It does 9 attack and 8 attack speed, with a durability of 1000. It's a very good alternative to the diamond sword, with two-thirds of the durability
New Scaffolding recipe
Scaffolding can now be crafted using 8 Bundles of Sticks surrounding a single Stick. Very useful if you don't have access to bamboo
